About the course

Computer Systems Engineering equips students with essential skills to design and integrate hardware and software for modern computer systems. This contemporary course bridges electronics and computer science, focusing on advanced hardware design using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and microcontrollers, while covering software aspects. It prepares learners for emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, and autonomous vehicles, fostering creative and independent thinking. Key benefits include access to well-equipped electronics and CISCO laboratories, industry placements, and international opportunities through programs like COIL.The program features a common first year shared with related courses, allowing exploration before specializing. Subsequent years cover topics such as engineering mathematics, embedded systems, operating systems, security, and machine learning. Assessment methods vary, including exams, essays, projects, presentations, and group work, ensuring students achieve intended learning outcomes. Upon completion of the BEng (Hons), students may progress to an MEng for advanced study.

What you will learn

This course has a common first year. The common first year enables you to work alongside students doing similar courses to you, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn. If you discover an interest in a specific subject you have studied, upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements). Common first year courses: Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons) Electronics and Communication Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons) Year One Modules Engineering Mathematics Electrical and Electronic Engineering Principles Engineering Design Analogue and Digital Devices Electronic Systems in Action Introduction to Programming Year Two In your second year, more advanced electronics and system design topics will be covered in the electronic modules. This will include electronic system design, manufacturing, and testing. Computer operating system and advanced programming topics will be taught where security issues will also be introduced. Communication and networking module will introduce the technologies and protocols used in modern communication system. Modules Analogue and Digital Systems Object Oriented Programming Operating Systems, Security and Networks Embedded System Design & Development Manufacture of Electronic Systems Communication and Networking Placement Year There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement* can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future. If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee* of £1,250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement. Final Year In the final year, you will continue your studies in advanced hardware and software design, but with a focus on individual/group projects in which you will perform a detailed research or design study into a technical aspect from the course with the help of an experienced supervisor. In the hardware design areas topics such as FPGA based system design and system on Chip design will be covered whereas in the software area advanced security and machine learning topics will be the key focus. Modules Security Hardware Realisation of a Computer System Individual/Group-based Project Preparation Individual/Group-based Project Realisation System on Chip Design Optional modules (choose one of the following) Machine Learning and Related Applications VLSI Design Additional Year Following on from successful completion of the BEng (Hons) study you can opt to proceed to the MEng Computer Systems Engineering degree. In this additional year, more advanced topics related to computer engineering will be investigated which is beyond the scope of undergraduate study. We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
